Say no to Tangle Tantrums


One of the worst things I remember from being little is bath night. We never had hair conditioner and with really long thick hair and a love of sugary sweets and running around in hedges, I always managed to get matted hair. My mum would spend ages trying to get out the knots while I cried and wailed throughout. Fortunately for stressed out mums and little rascals, The Original Little Sprout has brought us a product that will save buckets of tears at bed time. Their Miracle Detangler makes sure little ones have super soft and shiny hair without the ouch factor. And mums get a considerably easier bath time too, with the added bonus of a paraben and sulphate free bath time.

Sweet Sunshine


There are a few things most women hold close to their hearts and I know it sounds shallow but chocolate and a good tan are definitely two of them. They both hold the key to that feel good factor and now that they are combined in Chocolate Sun Cocoa Absolute Tan Enhancer, here at Puresha we can’t get enough. We are also loving that they offer a sunless tan enhancer for paler skin. As in, for us British ladies who are not so used to intense sunny climes. This a great time of year to get a glow about you and if you aren’t a self tan expert at least you can cover up imperfections with layers of cardies! And as a bonus, these yummy organic treats will leave you smelling delicious, in fact, good enough to eat.

The Daily Mail's Best Bust Cream


When a close friend of mine fell pregnant I remember her droning on about the usual pregnancy issues like strange food cravings – she was wolfing down anchovies smeared on cheese on toast like it was an Olympic sport. But the complaint that seemed most unusual to me was her constant winging about her itchy boobs. It wasn’t a pregnancy pitfall I had ever heard of and I found it quite amusing during shopping trips where she would have to discreetly (or not as the case often was) nip behind a clothes rail for a good old scratch.

Now when I fell pregnant a couple of years later the memory of her itchy ailment was long forgotten, but after my first trimester my boobs doubled in size and were itching like mad. That’s when I first used Mama Mio Bube Tube. It was a god send and luckily for expectant mums we stock it at Puresha. This pregnancy must have contains CoQ10 which is an intense anti-oxident, great for making the skin soft and supple and helping to prevent stretch marks. It has a cooling affect on the boobs and by applying as part of your beauty routine you can stop those embarrassing itches!

Get in a lather

Ladies, we've all heard the stereotype - and no doubt experienced first hand... men simply cannot multitask. But Skinnyskinny are giving the boys a helping hand in the right direction with their Basil & Mint Organic Shaving Soap.

This shaving soap is a dream come true for the busy man about town as there's no need to bother with a separate soap and shaving cream. Simply lather up in the bath, shower or at the sink and shave away. The soap's blend of mint and basil is great for calming irritable skin conditions, and tea tree and organic aloe will leave the skin feeling fresh and invigorated - even a little tingly!

You can forget nasty razor burns too. Organic sea kelp and bentonite clay give the soap the "slip" needed for a friction-free shave, making it perfect for even the most sensitive of skin.

Don't feel left out though girls - the soap can be used for your shaving needs too. Its multitasking abilities sit much better with us anyway...

Revitalise Your Skin For Spring


With spring finally on the horizon, we should soon be able to say goodbye to our chunky-knit jumpers and hello to our flip flops, as we shed our wintery layers in preparation for the summer. But why limit this to just your wardrobe? The winter can leave skin looking tired and dull, so what better way to put the glow back into it again than with this gorgeous Cranberry & Vanilla Skin Revitaliser from Chocolate Sun.

Firstly, it smells divine, but there’s much more to this product than that. Its powerful and indulgent blend of cranberry seeds and sea salts make this an exfoliator to be reckoned with. And gym bunnies listen up – it also combats fluid retention and muscle stiffness as well, so you can aid your aches and pains at the same time as achieving silky smooth skin. It’s an out and out wonder product, and a Puresha favourite.
